Radiation starts today.

1. I wish you the best

I really like your ideas and thoughts about approaching your treatment.
Me, I'm not so deep. I've just tried to appreciate whatever I can at any time, whether it be feeling tired yet knowing it's OK for me to rest, eating terrible things like sugary applesauce or a Boost shake because that's all that's palatable to me, and now, when I've finished chemo and have a week or two before surgery, trying to enjoy getting myself somewhat back to normal. Everything that's "normal" just feels like a gift, after all the crazy side effects I've had.
The one creative thing I do is sewing...and I've continued that whenever I've had the energy. I did just complete two new sets of pajamas and a robe, because I realized that the ones I had were about twenty years old, and I deserved new ones (since I had been spending so much time in bed).
Let's hope the statistics are wrong.
